    So who exactly is downloading the app as a result of this latest government scandal? I’m going to guess it’s the maga crowd because they are this as an endorsement from their new king. But hopefully I’m wrong and it’s a broad sweep of different users from across the political spectrum.

        You wouldn’t want the Signal brand to become linked to it.

        “I’m on Signal, would you like to chat there?”

        “What, on the MAGA Nazi app, are you joking? Of course I’m not talking to you there!”

        Ideally you want a broad spectrum of people.

        I know it shouldn’t make a difference and people should base their views strictly on the technical and usability aspects of the app, but real life doesn’t work that way. Perceptions matter.
